Understanding Solar Subsidies in India (2026)
Switching to solar energy is now more affordable than ever, thanks to significant government initiatives in India. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has launched multiple solar subsidy schemes to promote clean energy adoption among residential and agricultural consumers. The most prominent scheme is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, which aims to solarize over 1 crore households across the country. Under this scheme, homeowners can receive a direct central financial assistance (CFA) or subsidy of up to ₹1,08,000 for installing a rooftop solar system. This significantly reduces the upfront cost of going solar, offering an excellent return on investment.
Beyond residential rooftops, the PM-KUSUM (Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme is transforming the agricultural sector. It provides massive subsidies ranging from 60% to 80% to farmers for setting up decentralized solar power plants, replacing agriculture diesel pumps with solar water pumps, and solarizing existing grid-connected agriculture pumps. These subsidies ensure that solar energy is accessible to everyone from urban homeowners to rural farmers.
Applying for a solar subsidy requires adherence to specific guidelines. To be eligible, the installation must be carried out by a government-empanelled vendor, and only domestically manufactured (DCR - Domestic Content Requirement) solar panels (ALMM-approved) can be used. At Ensolvar, we simplify this entire process.
